Alcohol fermentation
• Alcohol fermentation is an anaerobic
(no oxygen), exothermic (heat-
releasing) process in which sugars
break down into ethyl alcohol
CH3CH2OH and carbon dioxide gas

C6H12O6 -->
> 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + 23 Kcal

In yeast, when O2 is available, cells use aerobic cellular


respiration to transfer energy from the
organic molecules to ATP.

Alcoholic fermentation
• When yeast is grown 
under anaerobic 
conditions, sugars are 
fermented to alcohol 
and carbon dioxide.
• At about a 
concentration of 12%, 
ethanol itself inhibits 
further growth of the 
microbial organisms 
and the process stops.

Key microorganism
of alcoholic
fermentation is
Saccharomyces
Saccharomyces,
unable to
breakdown starch

Tape fermentation
• Mixed fermentation of mold, yeast and lactic acid bacteria
• Mold incl. Mucor, Amylomyces rouxii etc.
– Convert starch into sugars
• Amylomyces rouxii are strongly amylolytic organisms
• Yeast, Saccharomycopsis fibuligera,  Sacch. cerevisiae:
– Convert sugars into alcohol
• Saccharomyces cerevisiae are not amylolytic and, hence, their growth 
in starchy materials depends on other microbes generating sugars and 
other nutrient. 
• S. cerevisiae
S. cerevisiae is a strong sugar fermenter
is a strong sugar fermenter and, being ethanol tolerant, 
and, being ethanol tolerant,
produces high ethanol concentrations
• Candida beverwijkiae are strongly amylolytic organisms
• Lactic acid bacteria:
– Convert sugars into lactic acid
